A dedicated hackathon for eny, a battery-less smart button that can become a trigger to connect any IoT device and web services/application.

About this Solution:

The eny hackathon is an opportunity to utilize our “battery-less smart button” eny, to promote your innovative smart home product or service to the world.

This is way more than a normal hackathon, as participants will get the opportunity to not only pitch their team and products, but moreover have the chance to get seed funding, exposure to seed-focused venture capital firms and opportunities for partnerships with Panasonic management.

Our partner for the event will be Neura, whose machine learning algorithms give functionality to eny by analyzing tracking sensor data recorded on user’s devices. This in turn allows Neura to gain an in-depth contextual knowledge of the user.

Participant's ideas need to be submitted before the event and must fully explain your product and give details on how you will utilize eny to improve the user experience.. Only qualified finalists will be invited to the hackathon event (maximum 10 teams).

eny is a maintenance free smart button powered by energy harvesting technology. It can connect with anything via IFTTT and other 3rd party platforms. Once it is set up, it doesn’t require any other devices such as smartphones.

Reason to Participate

Attract users with our UI: By utilizing the ultra-simple eny UI, you can drastically increase the usability of your device.
